We're close to pulling the trigger on a rental townhouse in Corktown. It's huge, brand new, not even lived in. Gorgeous interiors and amenities, etc. good price.
It's just....Corktown. There isn't much around. My partner's got instant access to the DVP for work which is huge. But in terms of our walkable liveability downtown, it seems pretty sparse. I wish it was just two or three major streets west of where it is. But minus the Moss Park.
Thoughts?
Nuh-uh. NextBus ftw

What's wrong with being warm? It should be #teamhot versus #teamcold. No wonder a 3rd of the city voted for Doug Ford.
I use TorontoBusMap for the bus locations and Google but the GPS was wonky with the busses or something so it wasn't working and Google was confused with, what I assume, was because of the time change.

Hey, why is this thread the only active city thread on the board? And the only community that has meet-ups too? Just seems wierd that there's no NY-GAF or LA-GAF OT. There's country threads but idk guess TO is the only Canadian city that matters.
I used to work at Front and Parliament. It's a really up and coming area. A lot of new condos along King St E. Walking east you'll get to Riverside around Broadview and Queen. Jilly's is now closed and I heard it's going to become a fancy bar/hotel (kinda like the Drake)
Yeah, you're a bit of a dead zone. But Distillery is in walking distance and hopefully there will be more expansion of shops and services in the area.
It used to be a very sketchy area 15 years ago.
Actually I think they do have threads but theyre mostly in the main Off-Topic forum? For some reason Toronto-Age is kept in Community, idk why. That's fine by me though, all the best OT threads are in OT Community.

#TeamWarm
I had to dig out my winter jacket from drycleaning plastic. Normally I wait until at least mid-Nov before giving in.
We had more food than pictured, but those looked good enough to take shots of hehe
Coming to the Ubi event?
We ARE the centre of the Universe so yeah.

Full of burgers
;')
I doubt I'm going but I really ought to make it to one of those and pretend I'm media like a certain fuzzy bastard.
Burgers, Coors Lite bashing, #teamwinter hating, etc.
@chaobreaker it's a good group of people that care enough about the city and the people on this forum to get together and talk about it whether online or in person. We don't have meet ups every month like the reddit peeps but likely more than a lot of other city OTs and I also harass other members to make the meet up thread so we got that going too. I do see the people who come out more get more comfortable each time too, so even if new people come and just feel awkward it gets better quickly since you're all a bunch of nerds...I mean good people. I really need to harass Rinoa some day to do a meet up...or Quick ;D

Hey guys, i live in the GTA but not in Toronto.
Could anyone recommend a reliable place in Toronto for computer repairs? I haven't gotten any replies yet in TechSupportGAF about my problem, so I'm considering just getting it looked at by a professional.

But will Kuro stay alive because of his love of burgers?

When a student of mine had laptop problems I directed them to one of numerous places north of Kensington Market; around Spadina and College area.
Or, you can post your symptoms here and we can try to give it a go or EM will butt in on twitter and I'll post
DAMN YOU, EM!

Do you have two sticks of RAM? Try taking each out and see if the computer works with just one of the two in. Might have a bad stick.

Yeah I've got 2 sticks, but I haven't tried this. This computer is barely 5 months old though, hard to believe that one of the cards is already bugging out on me.

I hope for your sake it's not both sticks of ram but depending on what kind it is I got some laying around.
Luckily RAM is cheap. I bought bad RAM once, good thing I got it exchanged but that can sometimes happen.

Who is going to the ubisoft thing tomorrow? And did they have food at last year's?
I'll be there. I have no idea if there will be food or not. I do know that the Watch Dogs launch party had food (it was great!) but it was also a 19+ event, IIRC.
They usually have free food if it's at a large venue from my experiences.

I went to the ac3 party but it was invite only and had free food
Not much around the cne so I dunno if I should eat before just in case

I think Toronto needs a PR campaign, with tv ads in multiple foreign countries, to remind people than Canada is more that just Rob Ford
is it though
Eat before you come, because you're right, the CNE is a culinary wasteland.
I don't know, after the last four years, it's pretty nice to be finally free of Rob Ford. We finally have at least ford more years withrob a ford rob ford rob ford Rob Ford Rob Ford Rob Ford Rob Ford Rob Ford Rob Ford Rob Ford Rob Ford Rob Ford

Unless they open the food building!
There wasn't mention of any food but I wouldn't go hungry/thirsty to an event like this in this area. It's also gonn be cold.

What is the better route to the Liberty Grand
Subway to King Street and take the King streetcar or subway to Union and take the 509 streetcar? Is access to the 509 from Union re-opened?

Anyone else constantly get those scam calls from west jet? I get them every other day both on my phone and my work number. Everytime they call it's from a number that looks like a normal Toronto number. I've tried to talk to them once to tell them to stop calling and obviously, was met with wishy washy answers then someone hanging up.
Any other way to stop these calls?

They're spoofing numbers too so it's not like you can report them either.
I get them on my work phone and the caller ID has a number from another department...
509 reopened about 3 weeks ago, actually, so that is an option. Neither is really better, though.
I get them at work. Not sure if it's the one you're talking about since I stop listening. I also used to get those debt ones.
Don't know how to stop them though.

TTC - get there 15 min early or 45 min late
There's your goddamn slogan!
Signal problems at Broadview this morning, medical problem at Greenwood, another problem at Kennedy station.

Signal problems at Broadview this morning, medical problem at Greenwood, another problem at Kennedy station.
It took me over an hour to get onto a train. I arrived at the station at 830, got to work at 1030. What a joke.
4 different stations had passenger alerts pulled.
I'd really like a detailed report on how/where/why things broke down today, because it was embarrassing. Signal updates and construction or not, it was stressful and felt like it could've been avoided somehow.
I've been forced to use the TTC as my primary means of transportation over the last couple of years (I don't drive and I commute to work), and this is so true.
